Super amazing restaurant. The employees are super welcoming and even when they weren’t our waiters they would still ask if we needed anything. I’m a big Javier’s and mastros guy and 76 above guy and by far ocean 48 beats all of them. Food was super amazing. Will be returning soon, more often. Thank you guys.

I arranged a birthday lunch for my friend who drive down from LA. We sat at a lovely table on the deck overlooking the water and boats. We order the oysters with shallots which were chilled and delicious. Then we split two sushi rolls and the fish tacos (3 in a plate with black beans) . Our waitress was delightful and everyone from the hostess to the busboys were terrific! I think it was worth every penny and I’ll be back again and again. It’s a favorite of mine and I’ve been coming for over 40 years!! 🍣🐬😄💕
